Research interests

My research in the field of prehistoric bioarchaeology combines standard anthropological methods and the application of state-of-the art techniques through the wide network of scientific collaboration. Bioarchaeology investigates human past, however I am motivated to transform it as a discipline which will employ the huge potential of ancient skeletal heritage in the study of biological phenomena relevant to modern people – e.g. the study of fertility and foetal development. Ancient skeletal remains await on this new horizon as a vast unread library and as valuable biological heritage of ancient humans. If we change the way we perceive and study our biological heritage, and shift the focus of study from reconstructing the past to resolving current biological issues, our research may lead to new knowledge of utmost significance for present humanity.
